The Headband Part I

Since Gossip Girls' season 1 and Blair Waldorf's first appearance, headbands have resurrected from the times when you were in primary. They are Blair's crowns (or were, since she doesn't seem to wear them that much now). The headband has a million possibilities, here are some of Blair's best headband moments.

I love this one. The gold colour matches her hair perfectly. The top is perfect too.

I love the bow in the middle of the head

(Doesn't she look a bit like Kate Middleton here, or is it just me?) This was one of Blair's best outfits of all time. She was wearing a Marc Jacobs dress  and the headband completed the look really well. I am quite skeptical about white shoes, but here everything was in perfect harmony. 

So if you are looking for a clean, upper-east side(ish), preppy look, don't be scared to pull off a headband. If it's too much for you, dress down the rest of the outfit and let the headband be the centre of it.

Tips on wearing headbands:

- Wear it slightly towards the centre of your head (not too close to your fringe)
- I recommend teasing a bit the crown to get a slight puff after the headband so that the hair doesn't stay flat.
- Try different materials, they don't all have to be plastic headbands like the ones you always find in H&M, go for other things like scarfs, velvet, satin...
- BE CONFIDENT AND SMILE, let everyone know you love your headband.
